Get WhatsApp Video Call on iOS (iPhone)

For the iPhone folks, you ain’t left out. Whatsapp Video Call is saying Hello!

To get the new feature on iPhone, simply launch App Store and tap on Updates

Scroll down till you find WhatsApp. Thereafter, tap on Update.

When update is complete, tap on OPEN. This will automatically launch the app.

On iPhone, you don’t necessarily need to tap on the contact’s profile before seeing the video option. It’s displayed on the chat screen.

Go on and hit the video button and you’d be on your way to exploring Video Calls on WhatsApp.

First Impressions

Honestly, while the new feature seem really cool and all that, it still needs a lot of work.

Quality isn’t perfect. Not exactly close. You probably need a very stable internet connection in other to engage in WhatsApp Video Calls. The feature on Android is even a bit worse. Don’t know if i should blame it on the phone or the network sha.

Hopefully in the coming weeks, the new feature will be improvised.

Extra Tip: Remember WhatsApp is supposed to discontinue it’s service on Blackberry 10 phones by the end of December, 2016? That has been extended to June 2017. Rejoice Blackberry users!

With WhatsApp introducing video calls, I wonder what’s gonna happen to Google Duo. Does anyone even use Google Duo in Nigeria?
